I am away again, this time with Phyllis and Kosov. HH assures me she can manage to feed Jass in our absence.
Our weather has turned from temperatures last week of low to mid 20s/70-80 to today as I type 13/55. Isn't that just great when you are going away although it will be a few degrees warmer for the next few days.
The task of sorting things out on my computer goes on. It is quite a task when there is around thirty years of history, much of which was filed and forgotten about. I have surprised myself with odds and sods I've found floating around.
I came across a link to a US gay guy's website I used to read way back in the nineties, and to my surprise, the website still works. It ran from 1996 until 2000. Justin would have been twenty years old then. If you'd like to take a look,
He started a new site in 2001 and it continued until 2003. The final entry mentions he is 27, and is using crutches to get around. Justin would now be fifty years old. Hmm, the whiff of nostalgia is very strong.
Later: I've realised his real name is on his website, Justin Clouse. I will turn to stalker mode....that wasn't hard. He's on all the social media sites, and the only other Justin Clouse is a dead soldier.
Enjoy your days away, whatever the temperatures.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing what we sometimes find squirreled away, whether in files or closets. lol Justin's Letter to a Friend moved me greatly. Thank you for sharing and travel safe, my dear.
ReplyDeleteWherever it is you and those two are going, you'll have to tell us about it when you come back. I'm sure it will be interesting.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy yourselves and the road trip!

I hope HH doesn't take a fall in your place and you find her there, still on the floor, Jass sitting atop her, when you return.
ReplyDeleteTalking of nostalgia :)
ReplyDeleteIn 1966 I did a year of study abroad, before starting Melbourne Uni. There were possibly 10 Australians in the group back then, and I have seen a few every so often. Now one of the group has started an on-line Reunion Group, the first meeting arranged to get together with another 1966 student from New Zealand who is visiting Melbourne.
